With MODEL 1 we hit the apex of pure analog DJ mixer design. Now we’re bringing MODEL 1 performance to an ultra-compact 4-channel design, ideal for home studio use, or as the ultimate tour-able analog mixer…so you can take your analog core wherever you go.
Engineered by Andy Rigby-Jones and co-designed by Richie Hawtin with feedback from artists, clubs and engineers, MODEL 1.4 features the same uncompromising approach to build quality, precision and detail that set MODEL 1 in a class of its own.
MODEL 1.4 can be used standalone or paired with a MODEL1 using unique mixer-link functionality to deliver an unrivaled 10-Channel Live mix experience
Features:
2 stereo sends
The two AUX controls send the channel signal to the Aux mix outputs for use with external effects processors or, in some applications, local monitors. AUX 1 offers either PRE or POST FADE while AUX 2 is internally set to post-fader
2 high-performance phono preamps
2 high-performance turntable inputs, optimized for the club environment in order to minimize the tonal imbalance between vinyl and digital audio, and to eliminate sub-frequency feedback. Each phono input has its own Individual Turntable Earth Binding for greater flexibility
2 stereo returns
Two basic stereo channels for use as return inputs from external effects processors or other sources. Each return features TRIM to adjust the return signal, input DRIVE circuit, and CUE routing to both Cue A and Cue B. Each Return also feature Metering for visual feedback of the signal level, a rotary LEVEL fader to adjust Mix amount and combined Return 1-2 Low Cut EQ and Master Filter routing
Studio-grade faders
Custom TKD 60mm faders. These twin rails faders have been carefully chosen to ensure long life and smooth operation and feature a heavy feel for greater precision
Precision Sculpting EQ
SCULPT is a semi-parametric swept bell filter, and consists of two controls, FREQ which sets the center frequency and CUT/BOOST which adjusts the gain or attenuation at this frequency. The level of cut/boost is asymmetric; the maximum boost is limited to +8dB, while the cut is extended to -20dB. Sculpt has a wide Q and a frequency range that covers almost seven octaves
Contouring low & high pass filters
As the name implies these two controls allow you to “contour” the frequency range of the audio signal. They consist of low Q, High-Pass and Low-Pass filters designed not to add color to the sound as they are swept across their frequency range
Analog overdrive
A unique feature on every input, the DRIVE control. This control allows the user to adjust the level at which the channel pre-amplifier clips the input signal, thus creating harmonic distortion as a creative effect
DualCue
Two independent Cue systems, A and B. Cue A routes to the right-hand side headphone monitor and the Cue B routes to the left hand headphone monitor. The DualCue system makes it much easier for two DJs to perform on the mixer together in "Back2Back" setups, as each can select a separate channel to monitor without interfering with the other. This feature also assists DJ's handing off to each other in a smooth and natural way
